STEWARTS are standard Original Equipment Suppliers for the majority of the World's Leading Tobacco Machinery Makers.

STEWARTS designed the integral-construction, aluminium alloy pinned drum for the Tobacco Industry, and it has  become the accepted industry standard, against which all imitations must be measured

Over the years, our range of products for Tobacco Industry has been greatly extended, and now includes:

Pinned Drums and Segments of many different sizes and designs

Picker and Metering Rollers of advanced design

Coneyor assemblies and Parts

Pinned Carding Drums and Segments

STEWARTS first developed the integral construction, aluminium-alloy Pinned Drum for the Tobacco Industry 35 years ago, and we have developed it continuously since then to keep its position as the well-tested industry leader.

The light but strong construction uses the integral strength of an extruded aluminium alloy section, supported by a shaft and flanges.

The STEWARTS development of "N.I.F." bonded pins guarantees an unrivalled pin-point accuracy.

We now supply an extensive range of Drums and Segments for most machines, ranging in size from 50mm to over 2500mm wide, all using STEWARTS aluminium alloy extrusion designs.

Pinned Picker Roller and Metering Rollers

STEWARTS picker and other Hopper Rollers are a major improvement over conventional products.

The pins are securely bonded into an aluminium alloy tube with steel stub-stars, using anaerobic adhesive. This construction, an original STEWARTS development, is strong and lightweight and allows the use of fully toughened, smooth steel pins, with no screw thread required and no sharp edges.

The very tough material used for the pins greatly reduces the possibility of pin damage caused by stones and metal occasionally passing through the hopper. Therefore maintenance is reduced, and the new design gives typically double the life of a conventinal picker with screwed in pins.

The smooth pins give cleaner running and less drag, and prevents string build up. The improved pin point accuracy makes setting easier and results in more accurate metering.

The light weight of the complete roller assembly saves on bearing wear and power consuption.

Pinned Conveyor Assemblies and Parts

STEWARTS Conveyor Assemblies can be supplied with both pinned and saw-tooth blades mounted on Industry-approved belting.

All types of conveyor assembly can be supplied, and a full range of spares is always held in stock.
